Abstract
This article examines the artistic interpretation of psychological realism within
the landscapes of the human psyche, tracing the evolution of realism and its
psychologically oriented dimension in world and Uzbek literature. Realism, which
emerged in the nineteenth century as a reaction against Romanticism, sought to depict
life with verisimilitude, objectivity, and socio-historical precision. Psychological
realism developed as one of its most intricate branches, foregrounding the inner
mechanisms of consciousness, emotional experience, and cognitive processes.
Drawing on examples from the works of Fyodor Dostoevsky, Henry James,
Virginia Woolf, Marcel Proust, James Joyce, and William Faulkner, the study explores
narrative strategies such as interior monologue and stream of consciousness as
aesthetic instruments for representing subjective experience. It further analyzes the
development of psychological realism in Uzbek literature through the prose of Abdulla
Qodiriy, Cho‘lpon, and Asqad Muxtor, demonstrating how psychological inquiry
became central to the artistic exploration of identity, moral conflict, and social
transformation.
